As much sense as the OP made, there is ONE difference: I honestly believe this Panthers team is different than any other we've seen. I can't recall, even in the Super Bowl run, seeing this team just pull it together like it has and not only play with confidence, but inspire confidence. Even when we were losing against the 9ers, I just KNEW we'd find a way to win it. Not once did I think "man, this is gonna be a loss". Not once. And given the past few years, I think that speaks volumes. We may lose Monday night. It's football. You can't win 'em all and tough losses are gonna come. We're almost definitely not running the table the rest of the way (not impossible, but it is improbable). If we take our licks this Monday, so be it. However, I see our next loss coming to either Miami or NO. We seem almost destined to win this Monday, given everything we've been through and how far we've come.

Plus, as it has been pointed out at least once earlier in this thread, the Panthers in the 2nd half of the season under Rivera and Cam have been great. We will at least make a game of it Monday, and that's all I can realistically ask for. That being said, a loss would crush me and I may spin into depression for a week.

I love people that always accuse me of not being a fan. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise and am currently wearing a Sam Mills jersey while typing about the Panthers instead of working but NOOOOOOOO I can't possibly be a fan.

I don't ever question whether or not someone is a true fan, but passing your post off as the "cold, hard truth" is laughable....you're worried about losing and you think everyone else should follow suit. I ain't riding that train.... Everyone on it is mopey and depressing. I've had enough of that over the past four years.

imo EVERY game against is the superbowl rematch, so no time for negative or "i got that feeling" talk. Lets talk about what this will do for us assuming we win! I understand the point of the thread but its either all in or sit down! NO NE fan act like the fans here and tip toe into believing in the team. They are cocky yet I respect them because they believe they can win EVERY week. Shouldn't we???

Yea, this team has been dormant and stuck in also-ran mode for years now, but the team overall has proven to me that they are in a different state than they have been in recent years.

Guess what Pats, you guys thought this was an automatic Monday night win on your schedule this season? Well you shouldn't have unlocked the door and had your daughter picking daisies by the pond because Frankenstein's in the fuging village.
